EARTH DAY THEME

Earth Day may be over but at our house we are still continuing on with the theme. I just wanted to share some crafts my daycare kids have been working on. They are young, but have old hearts!
One day we made earth pictures using coffee filters made of recycled paper and blue bingo markers. By dabbing part of the filter with the blue marker, we made oceans and we left the remaining filter its natural color...light brown. We glued our earth onto blue construction paper and pasted the words to the "earth" song we've been singing all week. The kids had fun sticking fish stickers to the ocean areas and animal stickers to the land areas. These really show up well and we are very proud of them.

THIS LITTLE PLANET OF MINE
(This Little Light of Mine)

This little planet of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little planet of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little planet of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!

This little planet of mine, I’m gonna keep it clean.
This little planet of mine, I’m gonna keep it clean.
This little planet of mine, I’m gonna keep it clean.
Keep it clean, keep it clean, keep it clean!

My thoughts are my own, tucked away in the recesses of my mind. Sometimes I write them down for later viewing, only to ask myself, "What the hell was I thinking?"
-Marisa

I dwell in possibility...
-Emily Dickinson

If my button falls off
I sew it back on.

If I loose my button
I look for a matching one
to replace it.

If I can’t find a matching one,
I take off all the remaining ones
and sew new buttons on.

On wishes...

As you think, so you are. As you dream, so you become. As you create your wishes, so they create you.
-Wendy Garrett

Our deepest wishes are whispers of our authentic selves.
We must learn to respect them.
We must learn to listen.
-Sarah Ban Breathnach

If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets into the sea.
-Eric Bogle

Wish in one hand, shit in the other,
see which one gets full first.
-My Dad

On life...
We all can dance, when we find the music that we love.

The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity.
-George Bernard Shaw

"A little while and I will be gone from among you, whither I cannot tell. From nowhere we came, and into nowhere we go. What is life? It is as a flash of a firefly in the night. It is as the breath of a buffalo in the winter time. It is as the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset." - Crowfoot, chief of the Blackfoot Indians (1890)
